For anyone who fancies taking a CCD chip and building your own camera:

To quote, one of the uses of the PiXi board is as follows:
"AstroCam – the reason the PiXi board came about... A custom designed astronomical camera using a low-cost CCD and a user configurable readout control system"

I can see you doing it Mark, getting a sony chip and making your own that is.
